@eurosky.social is selling two extremely exclusive and original Bluesky pillows for a whopping 200,000€ each. @bnewbold.net can vouch for their authenticity. If you’re interested, let me know.
Going home on a red eye, flicking through the photos of the last 4 days of #AtmosphereConf and I don’t know where to begin. Actually, I do: thx @bmann.ca, @knowtheory.net and all the people that helped you putting this together. Thanks to everyone who took time to talk to me!
Big, big sorry for anyone I myself bumped because there was just TOO MUCH GOING ON :) I’ll make good on it!
Even more than all the cool technical stuff I enjoyed the friendships that have evolved, the hugs, the empathy. Thanks crew! We’ll be in touch!!!

I was just telling Lucca that in the early 00s we had platforms like livejournal and MySpace embracing creative chaos which have fallen away to walled opinionated gardens, we need to break those down.
Here's the updated "Funding Models Are Not Binary" slide from my Feature/Product/Business talk #ATmosphereConf. Turns out there are even more great examples already in the Atmosphere!
Massive shout-out to the organizers, volunteers, and community that made #AtmosphereConf SO fun!
This community is so supportive of each other and it's excellent. We all want the best for each other and I hope that never changes. I'm feeling so inspired and excited to start hacking once I'm home 🥺
